Car and driver stereotypes

Whats Tesla's rate of car fires to Nissan Leafs? Like for like?

I've no idea but, what's the ratio of EV car fires to petrol/diesel car fires ???

I don't think it's so much about change - lots of people have jaundiced views on Tesla because of Elon Musk.

Musk may be an absolute business maverick and have some debatable views on all manner of subjects totally unconnected with cars, but the cars his company produce are head and shoulders the best EVs on the market currently, and are likely to be so for some considerable time.

Driven by utter tits, like.

The numbers of Tesla or any EV car fires for that matter - are incredibly low in comparison to ICE cars.

Thats like comparing a fire with wood to a fire with concrete blocks.

Of course they are, they've a tank of petrol in them. Back to Tesla's awful record compared to other EV's

That's the point... ICE cars are way more likely to have issues with fires due to their highly inflammable fuel source.
EVs are highly unlikely to suffer spontaneous combustion fires.

Tesla's more than ANY other EV.

Yes I am.
I've had my Tesla over 12 months without any issues whatsoever.
I've driven many Tesla cars as part of my job along with Audi E-Tron, Polestar and Mercedes EQE so, forgive me for suggesting I might have a tad more knowledge than some/many of the capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of these cars.
I'm hoping to be driving a BYD Atto shortly too.

Only because they so massively outnumber all the other EV brands combined.

Which of those in your professional opinion is most likely to be driven in a tittish manner by a tit?

Just to keep the thread on topic.

Taken straight from that report.

There have been approximately 28 Tesla car fires worldwide between 2012 and 2020.

This statistic is a crucial piece of information when discussing Tesla car fire statistics, as it provides a tangible number to illustrate the prevalence of such incidents. It serves as a reminder that, while Tesla cars are generally considered to be safe, they are not immune to the risk of fire.

28 in 8 years worldwide... and you can them death traps ???? Oh, and that's approximately - hardly a crushing argument is it ??
